    Absolutely13 replied to flybaby1's topic in General Nursing

    Well, for me, the initial immunizations were Tdap, Hep A and B and a TB screen. You sound a little paranoid about getting

  3. does it make a real difference adn/bsn?

    Great advice Simba! I volunteered too and for some reason left that part

  5. Help!!

    Absolutely13 replied to itsme583's topic in General Nursing

    For the down and dirty part of being an LPN or RN, consider a CNA position. Yes, LPN's and RN's do the dirty work too, but there is so much more to it than that. You asked, I did my best to answer....

    Absolutely13 replied to LovebugLPN's topic in General Nursing

    this is true. as i researched this subject, i realized why there isn't an easy to find list from credible sources. it can be used for manipulative reasons. here is one already meantioned and one that...

  10. Thank you room 88

    Absolutely13 replied to misslo's topic in General Nursing

    You know, despite popular rumor, men cry at room 88

    Absolutely13 replied to zenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks is a wonderful thing if you mean it. Do what your heart says and mean what you say. Don't worry about the

  12. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Absolutely13 replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I had PhD 's teach A&P I, II, Micro and Dev Psych. No teacher assistants teaching classes. The Nursing school instructors are all Masters level. Maybe an agreement could be ASN RN's have X amount...

  13. cna's doing dressings??

    Absolutely13 replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't about other nurses "letting" a CNA do anything. CNA's must be fully aware of what their scope of practice is (and isn't). This is basic patient safety and we are not qualified nor trained...

  14. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Absolutely13 replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think you are right on the money and going the extra 1 or 2 semesters for the BSN makes perfect sense in theory. I would estimate about half of RN's were educated (in my area anyway) at community...

  15. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Absolutely13 replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It's hard to call an ADN a two year degree. Our nursing program is 21 months long by itself, nevermind the prereq's and basketweaving classes. After a year of RN experience, I do plan to start on a...

  16. I know a CNA who's name badge says nurse!

    Absolutely13 replied to RNFROMTHEHILL's topic in General Nursing

    The BON would intercede by re-establishing scope of practice in all parts of health care. If they can't do that, unions are in order to protect patients and nurses. Just my thoughts. I am only one...

  17. I know a CNA who's name badge says nurse!

    Absolutely13 replied to RNFROMTHEHILL's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose in the microculture of a physician's office, if you say "nurse" enough times it becomes true. I would imagine the medical assistants eat this up and go along with the deception that there...

    Absolutely13 replied to futurelpn09's topic in General Nursing

    You know, I reread my post this morning and I owe you an apology. I was in a bad mood, apparently, and took it out on you. Please accept my apology. The issue I brought up will take care of itself as...

  19. Do You Use a PDA at Work?

    Absolutely13 posted a topic in General Nursing

    What's the verdict; do you think IT will become the standard in nursing or just another gadget that eats up time? I would love to hear your experiences concerning

    Absolutely13 replied to futurelpn09's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, but that street English needs to be improved; sorry for the harshness. You have to start with the basics and move upward. I wish you the best and hope you gain confidence in your

  21. Do You Use a PDA at Work?

    Absolutely13 replied to Absolutely13's topic in General Nursing

    Elvish, I was on your bandwagon until I found out that Yale and Duke require students to have PDA'S. I am trying to see how far this has spread. I love your

  22. Calling All CNA's!

    Absolutely13 replied to nightingale's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I never really introduced myself....so here we go. I'm a CNA who will be applying to nursing school in August 2008 for the spring semester. There is a point system at this school, but I think - trust...

  24. Cna Exam In Florida

    Absolutely13 replied to Jayleenf77's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I took the classes, but I can tell you only a little over half pass the skills portion on the first try. If you are a challenger coming back to nurse assisting after taking an extended break from it,...
